Before I sleep

Aldo Gabbay 1964 (sap paulo)



Before I sleep
I will say a prayer to
My father
I never forget to pray
For him
Yes I must pray for my father
And in my prayer
I ask my father to give me
A good night sleep
I know it only takes
A few minutes for me
To pray for my father
Now it is finally
Getting late
I need to go right away to sleep
First I need to shut my mind off
Then I closed my eyes
And I drift to sleep
Yes father
I had a long day today
And I am also feeling
Exhausted
Tonight I won't get up
In the middle of the night
I will sleep all the way true the night
Yes I know that the night is long
But it is my father that made
The night
For us to sleep
Tomorrow will be a new day
And my father will bring the
New day
